“Wh…whaaaat?”
At almost the same time, a cry of alarm rang out from the Taoist Sanctum on the top of the mountain opposite.
Several people of the Heaven Palace Sect were startled, and, one by one, they had stood up, looking over toward the source of the noise.
“He was chosen by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi?” Xuanyuan Hong exclaimed.
“Oh, imagine that! After so many years, such a qualified talent has appeared. And he doesn’t seem to be any weaker than Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was chosen in the past.” An old man Celestial King smiled, feeling very appreciative that he had lived to see this day.
“Yes, the young man chosen seems to be a young sect leader of the Sage Sect. It is said that he possesses the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus also,” another person said.
“Divine Being of Taoist Fetus? No wonder!”
“With such qualities, it makes sense that he has been selected by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi.”
“Indeed, it is true that with superior qualities, the chances of being selected are much greater. But for this cultivator to have been selected so quickly by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, that’s enough to prove that his qualifications are outstanding.” Everyone reached the same conclusion.
Xuanyuan Hong nodded and said, “I guess this Chosen by Heaven Ceremony doesn’t need to continue. Even if there are other ones who could be chosen by Heaven, their qualifications couldn’t be comparable to the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus. I think it would be better to just choose this person.”
“Yes!” The rest of the people nodded, showing that they agreed and seconding the motion.
And at the moment, at the very edge of the Taoist Sanctum, Xu Que looked startled. He hadn’t expected that Ming Yixuan, who had escaped from the Heaven Palace Academy before he’d had time to sort his Divine Being of Taoist Fetus out, could actually be selected by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi.
There was going to be big trouble.
“Everyone, the One Chosen by Heaven has already emerged. I declare that the Chosen by Heaven Ceremony will end here…” A deep, calm voice rang out from the top of the mountain.
Xu Que had only been partly listening when he abruptly raised his eyebrows.
“This is coming to an end?”
“Son of a b*tch, how can that be? I, the Act-Tough Saint, haven’t made my moves yet.”
SWIs.h.!.+
He instantly opened wide his Mind Sense. The Heavenly Book of Taiyi that he was carrying suddenly shook and emitted a wisp of its presence. Along with his boundless Mind Sense, it rushed toward the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi.
WHOOs.h.!.+
The next moment, before the voice from the top of the mountain had finished speaking, a tremendous force suddenly engulfed Xu Que’s body. Immediately after, a BOOM could be heard, and the protective screen on the Taoist Sanctum flashed again.
Xu Que’s entire person was immediately pulled from its original spot and set down in front of the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi. He was enveloped in a beam of light.
WOW!!
In an instant, many people present went into a frenzy.
Within such a short s.p.a.ce of time, two people chosen by Heaven had actually emerged?
“This…”
On the top of the mountain opposite the Taoist Sanctum, several people, including Xuanyuan Hong and others from the Heaven Palace Sect, looked at each other and were somewhat astonished.
But it was just that and nothing more. Even if they hadn’t seen this kind of exact situation before, it was not enough to make them overly alarmed.
“It seems we’ve had some good luck this time. Two people have been chosen by the Heaven and the speed of the selection was good. It hasn’t been more than an hour so far.” The old man of the Heaven Palace Sect stroked his beard and laughed out loud.
“Very well, with one more person with outstanding apt.i.tude chosen by the Heaven, the opportunity of traversing the Relations.h.i.+ps Tribulations will be much greater.” Xuanyuan Hong nodded.
“Heh, heh, heh, when the time comes, let the two of them choose two qualified and outstanding women to put the Silk of Pa.s.sion from the Heavenly Silkworm to use. What is done cannot be undone. It will be enough to achieve our aims with this trick and safely traverse the Relations.h.i.+ps Tribulations. But the outcome will also be determined by who can end the Relations.h.i.+ps Tribulations first to become the true One Chosen by Heaven.” The old man smiled calmly and said, “As for the slower person, he can only thank his bad luck.”
SNAP!
At this time, in the Taoist Sanctum, a crisp sound came from the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi. A corner seemed to have broken off the Heavenly Stone.
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound. A palm-sized rectangular stone tablet had fallen off the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi and landed directly in front of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus.
Ming Yixuan opened his eyes. His eyes were full of pride and self-confidence. With boundless vigor, he picked up the rectangular stone tablet with one hand.
WHOOs.h.!.+
Almost at the same time, the sound of a blast reached his ears, and a dark shadow rushed toward him.
“Who is it?” Ming Yixuan growled and slammed his palm out.
BANG!
But he failed to repel the opponent. Instead, he felt an earth-shattering force strike his palm and send him flying from its jolt.
“Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven?” Ming Yixuan was shocked and looked stunned.
“Such impudence, stop it.” At that time, a cry of anger rang out from the clouds in the air.
Xuanyuan Hong and several of the strongmen from the Heaven Palace Sect rushed from the top of the mountain straight into the Taoist Sanctum.
One of the strongmen who was a Celestial Prime instantly unleashed a powerful pressure, which ran through the Taoist Sanctum’s restrictive barrier and slammed toward Xu Que, who had mounted the sneak attack.
BANG!
Xu Que had wanted to continue to charge toward Ming Yixuan and cut him off with a stroke. He hadn’t expected that the powerful Celestial Prime’s mighty force would be so terrifying. It was like a huge fist had hit him in the chest and caused him to retreat a few steps from the shock.
“Go on!” Suddenly, Zixia Fairy’s voice rang out.
Xu Que hadn’t had time to react when the mighty force of the powerful Celestial Prime was suddenly scattered by a collision from a glow that arrived suddenly. It was Zixia Fairy who had struck, and her power shook the realm of the Celestial Primes.
“What? Such strength… Who are you?” The powerful Celestial Prime was surprised and asked, frowning, as he swept his gaze toward Zixia Fairy.
“The person who is going to kill you,” Zixia Fairy responded indifferently. The tremendous mighty force swept out from her once again and continued to shake the powerful Celestial Prime.
“Heh, heh, heh, it’s a little brazen, but I like it!” Xu Que smiled when he saw what was happening. He stepped into the void underneath his feet and abruptly swept toward Ming Yixuan like a Demon.
Zixia Fairy could at least hinder that powerful Celestial Prime for a few moments. He must quickly kill Ming Yixuan to prevent this fool from traversing the Relations.h.i.+ps Tribulations after becoming the One Chosen by Heaven. Otherwise, it would be his turn to die along with Xuanyuan Wanrong.
However, Xu Que’s idea didn’t work.
The powerful Celestial Prime had been temporarily delayed by Zixia Fairy, but the mighty force of Xuanyuan Hong and several other powerful Celestial Primes was already sweeping toward Xu Que.
Although their force was not as strong as that of the original powerful Celestial Prime, it did affect Xu Que’s speed and strength. He found it difficult to even unleash 30 percent of his strength.
“D*mn, this group of troublesome devils! If I had known earlier, I would have let b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude come along.” Xu Que was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. He immediately summoned the System interface and got ready to activate the retaliatory mechanism to increase his strength.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi shook and a muted sound reverberated everywhere.
The Heavenly Book of Taiyi hidden in Xu Que’s clothing actually flew out on its own accord and was pulled toward the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi bit by bit.
“The Heavenly Book of Taiyi?” Xuanyuan Hong exclaimed in disbelief.
The crowd present was also stunned one and all. No one had seen the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi a.s.sign the Heavenly Book to Xu Que. However, the Heavenly Book of Taiyi actually flew out of Xu Que’s possession.
“What did it mean?”
“This guy is already the One Chosen by Heaven!” The old man of the Heaven Palace Sect cried out in shock.
“How is that possible? Over the years, the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi has been kept by us. Only Xuanyuan Wanrong is left as the One Chosen by Heaven in the world. Where did this guy come from….?” Another strongman from the Heaven Palace Sect had started talking, but he stopped suddenly halfway through when he realized what he’d just said.
The other few strongmen of the Heaven Palace Sect also stayed silent.
They already knew the answer. The only possibility was that Xuanyuan Wanrong had already chosen this young man as her cultivation companion, making him another One Chosen by Heaven.
“Oh, that little sl*t is still alive.” Xuanyuan Hong’s eyes became cold, and she sneered. “But…her taste is not that great. After picking and choosing, she actually chose such a useless person? Now even the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi wants to take back the Heavenly Book of Taiyi and cancel his status as the One Chosen by Heaven.”
“Hey? What the h*ll?”
In the Taoist Sanctum, Xu Que was struck dumb when he heard Xuanyuan Hong’s words.
“The Heavenly Stone of Taiyi wants to take away the Heavenly Book of Taiyi to cancel my status as the One Chosen by Heaven?
“So, does that means as long as the Heavenly Book of Taiyi is taken away, the One Chosen by Heaven will have nothing to do with me?
“Ha, ha, ha, I’ve traveled far and wide searching for answers,only to find the solution so easily.”
“Divine Being of Taoist Fetus, you can come out. The Heavenly Book of Taiyi has been taken back, this person will also be destroyed by the Way of Heaven.” At the same time, Xuanyuan Hong looked at Ming Yixuan and commanded him in a low voice.
Following which, the corners of her mouth also curled up into a cold smile. “Once this person dies, Xuanyuan Wanrong, that little sl*t, will also die without a doubt. It’s really killing two birds with one stone. Dropped on our doorstep.”
“F*ck!” Xu Que was so excited that he was in a happy mood, only for the fire that had just been raised to be doused with a basin of cold water and extinguished.
“He lost the Heavenly Book of Taiyi and now he also has to die?
“Son of a b*tch, what the h*ll is going on?”
Xu Que immediately tried to grab the drifting stone tablet of the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi.
“Well, well, what makes you think you have the qualifications to be the One Chosen by Heaven?” At this time, a cold voice could be heard.
Ming Yixuan hadn’t escaped. Instead, he’d directly charged toward Xu Que and wanted to prevent Xu Que from regaining the Heavenly Book of Taiyi.
“Oh, you still dare to try and attack me?” Xu Que was instantly delighted. This piece of trash is bold indeed.
“Oh, although you are a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven and your cultivation stage is higher than mine, you have now been suppressed by several senior Celestial Kings. I don’t believe you can still be considered my opponent.” Ming Yixuan was full of confidence and extremely proud. He brought out a sword and cut toward Xu Que.
PFFTT!
I may have to surprise you…” Xu Que chuckled. With a turn of his mind, he canceled the Disguise Puppet illusion and directly exposed his true appearance. He beamed and stared at Ming Yixuan as he continued to say, “How about it? Are you surprised? Is it unexpected? Are you happy?”
“You’re…Xu…Xu Que?” Ming Yixuan’s face changed dramatically in an instant, and he shouted loudly in horror.
